ALA/State Of Tobacco Control/State Grades

The State grades for Tobacco Control have been released by the American Lung Association.

I invite you to check out what grades your State earned in:

•Tobacco Prevention and Control Spending
•Smokefree Air Laws
•State Cigarette Excise Tax
•Cessation Treatment

For a start, take a look at how Washington DC fared in all of the above areas:

NBC: The New Facebook Mirror?

Quick! What does the above logo remind you of?

Yes, that's what I think, too.

And how long is it going to be before Mark Zuckerberg says something about it?

THAT picture, my friends, is NBC's new logo. Comcast bought-out NBC and now the peacock with the pretty tail feathers is gone.

Bit by bit, the plan is to phase the traditional bird of paradise out of NBC, altogether.

Read more about it HERE .

And be sure to read the comments that have been left in response to the article.

NOBODY likes the new logo.

Do you?

You Cannot Hack Bacteria!

Bacteria With No Bandwidth
Leave Mark Zuckerberg Allloooonnne...Leave Him Alone!

So, Mark Zuckerberg's page was hacked. Meh.

I mean, before I read the story, I thought the hackers had taken a Bart Simpson character and slapped it on Zuckerberg's main page. You know, showing something really cute like Bart dancing around in his underwear and then leaning over to show the moon.

"Hey man, lookit this, Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook is now framing my BUTT!"

That apparently didn't happen.

No, the hackers just went in, messed around and then waved their arms at the world saying, "Hey, Over Here...Notice what we did...We Got Into Mr. Farcebook's Page!"

Well. I don't care if they got into Mr. Zuckerberg's pants!

I think the hackers took a perfectly good, golden moment and wasted it.

They could have at LEAST posted a YouTube video about Wisconsin cow pies right in the center of the page!

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk...instead they used no imagination. No imagination at all.

Let the hackers get some of those little bacterias that hold Zuckerberg's REAL information (we just KNOW that there's germs out there with his name on them)...And inject those little E. coli bacteria back into their own hacker-happy veins...And then MAYBE I'll be impressed.

RE: Kyron Horman Case

If anyone wants to discuss the Kyron Horman case with me, please send me a comment here. Don't email me, I won't respond. But you are very welcome to post a comment here.

All of the comments are monitored. Thank you.

This Is MY Life

"La crainte est une clôture et la foi est un pont"

Translation: "Fear Is A Wall And Faith Is A Bridge"

Recently, I received a comment that really deserves my middle finger. Instead, I am posting this response:

I'm not afraid of anybody.

You brought up fear because you use it to intimidate people.

It won't work on me.

I don't care what you write, say or do. I have spent fifty-five years being myself and I'm going to stay that way.

I'm content with who I am and happy in my own skin. I recognize my blessings for what they are and I'm living in peace.

This is my reward for all of those years on the road.

I ran hard, fast and free. And I wouldn't trade an hour of those seventeen years.
Everything that happened made me who I am now: Satisfied.

I'm tough, tenacious and totally in love with life.

GOD is continuing to bless me. If you have a problem with that, then I suggest that you take it up with HIM.

Meanwhile, I invite you to ponder this song by one of my favorite singers: Billy Joel-->

The Words And The Way Out

Transcript Of State Of The Union Address

________________

I appreciated President Obama's words in his State of the Union Address. But there are a number of subjects that he touched on that I find the most interesting and/ or agree with:

1. "We may have differences in policy, but we all believe in the rights enshrined in our Constitution. We may have different opinions, but we believe in the same promise that says this is a place where you can make it if you try. We may have different backgrounds, but we believe in the same dream that says this is a country where any thing's possible. No matter who you are. No matter where you come from."

2. "Because the American people deserve to know that special interests aren't larding up legislation with pet projects, both parties in Congress should know this: if a bill comes to my desk with earmarks inside, I will veto it."

3. "Starting this year, no American will be forbidden from serving the country they love because of who they love."

4. "This year, we will work with nearly 50 countries to begin a transition to an Afghan lead. And this July, we will begin to bring our troops home."

5. "Because we rallied the world, nuclear materials are being locked down on every continent so they never fall into the hands of terrorists."

6. "We have reset our relationship with Russia, strengthened Asian alliances, and built new partnerships with nations like India. This March, I will travel to Brazil, Chile, and El Salvador to forge new alliances for progress in the Americas."

7. "Within 25 years, our goal is to give 80% of Americans access to high-speed rail, which could allow you go places in half the time it takes to travel by car. For some trips, it will be faster than flying -- without the pat-down. As we speak, routes in California and the Midwest are already underway."
________________

I'm sure that everyone came away with something that they appreciated about President Obama's speech tonight. And different people will talk about a different part of the speech tomorrow.

But I believe that there is a kernel of truth in everything that the President said.

It is up to us, now, to use it in the spirit in which it was given.

We, as United States citizens, have a choice now. When it comes to the Problem List that the President outlined, we will have to do one of two things: Chew On It...Or Change It.

Because, as President Obama declared tonight: "Our destiny remains our choice."

Seats, States And Smiles

Loughner, Amused in Court

When Jared Lee Loughner did his smile and giggle routine in that courtroom in Phoenix, Arizona yesterday...I immediately thought of how some of our elected officials have acted this week.

Loughner smiles a lot. He has every reason to. The man sits in a private cell wearing clean clothes and eating regular meals. He has the promise of media exposure and free legal representation.

He has it all. No wonder he's smiling.

Some of our elected officials, on the other hand, have been acting really cranky this past week. They have
been upset over the seating arrangement for President Obama’s "State of the Union" address.

While Jared Loughner has performed his best crazy act, the aforementioned officials have behaved like children.

“But…but…(in an eight-year-old whining voice)…I don’t WANNA sit with yoooo!”

“You can’t make me sit there…You’re not the boss of me!”

“Ew…I’m not sitting by him…he’s a Republican and he’s got CONSERVATIVE COOTIES!!”


_PHOTO:GETTY IMAGES_

Will They Really Play It This Way?

Meanwhile, Jared Lee Loughner is continuing to smile at everything.

The truth of the matter is, that every one of those elected officials will not be in Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ situation tonight.


This photo was taken as Congresswoman Giffords was transported by plane from Tucson to Houston. Gabrielle Giffords' mother is in the middle of the photo, leaning over her.
______________________

I bet that Congresswoman Giffords would love to be safe, healthy and at that event. And she probably wouldn’t care WHAT SEAT she sat in!

As it is, the elected officials have designated an empty seat for her. It is the one respectable thing that they've all managed to agree on.

And THOSE officials represent my Country.

Jared Loughner doesn’t represent anyone but himself. He doesn’t have to be responsible, anymore. He’s got his seat and every time that he sits in it, he just grins like an idiot.

But Jared Loughner is crazy, right? Or at least that is the general consensus right now.

Loughner isn’t supposed to lead this Country. The elected officials are.

Jared Lee Loughner is out of his mind. But, so far, he hasn’t said one thing about what seat he sits in…anywhere or anytime. He just shuffles on in, takes a load off and smiles.

What does that say about the behavior of those elected officials?

They are supposed to be mature and lead by example.

Which means that tonight, they better walk in, sit down and pay attention to the President. Because every, single one of them has a job to do. And they better smile when they do it.

They owe that to Congresswoman Giffords, to the family of young Christina-Taylor Green (her parents will sit with First Lady Michelle Obama during the State of the Union Address) to the Country and to me.

They better grin with all of their might. United. Until it hurts. And prove that they are far more capable of being decent human beings than Jared Lee Loughner will ever be...whether they're sitting down or standing on their own two feet.

Missing Sweet Sabrina Allen

UPDATE January 23, 2011:

I first posted about Sabrina Allen, in this blog, on December 19, 2004. It is now January 2011. It has come to my attention that there is a renewed interest in Sabrina Allen's case.

Her family has remained steadfast in their efforts to bring Sabrina back home. On January 21, 2011, her father Greg talked about Sabrina with KTBC-TV in Austin, Texas:

Father Still Searching for Missing Girl: MyFoxAUSTIN.com

Greg Allen's desire to find his daughter remains very strong. Even after all of these years.

That is a wonderful kind of love.

You can find out the latest news about the Sabrina Allen case by visiting the official website.

Somewhere in the world today, somebody knows exactly where Sabrina Allen is. I hope that someone reads this post and decides that it is time for Sabrina to come home to her family in Texas.

Trucking And Looking For Kyron!

-PHOTO: KPTV FOX-TV--Portland, Oregon-
___________________


KPTV Breaking News
Washington State Patrol's Media Release

The truckers are beginning to band together to find Kyron Horman. And I am grinning.

No one knows those guys (and ladies) on the road better than I do.

I have seen them and they have seen me (for years) while I have hitchhiked beside highways and Interstates across North America.

The drivers for Gordon Trucking have (almost) never picked me up. But their trucks have always been a familiar part of the landscape in fuel lanes, parking lots and rest areas.

And after the trailers are loaded, Gordon Trucking covers a very broad area of the Country.



I am hoping that this latest effort will pay off and one of Gordon's drivers will bring Kyron Richard Horman home.

Thank you, drivers...with all of my heart...from Ruthie On The Road.

Terri Moulton Horman's Fading Photograph

I updated the post (regarding the missing photos in my blog) this morning. And then I scrolled down to the bottom of the post and saw this comment:

["When you mentioned edited photos, I thought I should let you know that many of TH's bodybuilding photos are "disappearing" from the web. I think someone wants to keep TH from appearing to have worked out for 4-6 hours/day from 2003-2005."]

I've decided to post this response:

Ms. Terri "Meltdown" Moulton:

Nobody, who is worth a damn, cares if ALL of your photos disappear from the Internet. ONE photo of you, bitch, is enough for the world to see.

We, the good, decent, loving and caring people in this world, care about the fact that Kyron HAS DISAPPEARED.

So you "worked-out" years ago. Big Deal. It never did a thing for your conscience.

While you posed, pumped iron and built-up your muscles...your capacity to truly love anyone shriveled away and died.

Put THAT, the previous sentence, in the spotlight with your pathetic self, slut.

You focused all of your attention on greasing up and trying to grab headlines. But when you were given the privilege of caring for one, precious little boy...you went stone blind.

NOW you're in the headlines. But not for the reason that you hoped for.

You couldn't cut it as a bodybuilder and you can't be a real mother, either. Oh yeah, you chased a physical trophy and only got fourth-rate kudos.

NOW that you've let go of a beautiful, priceless child...you've earned the first-rate disdain of millions of people around the world.

You watched Kyron grow and flourish, in a way that you never will. He drew, painted, sang and lived every day on a level that you will never reach.

And you looked at those old photographs of yourself, getting in touch with your masculine side, and you couldn't keep up with Kyron.

Then, on the fourth day of June, he reminded you one more time...that you could bench-press for a billion years and never bypass the spirit in that boy.

Then something red and hating exploded inside of you and you pointed your anger straight at Kyron.

THAT IS THE TRUTH, ISN'T IT, Terri?

Now it isn't Kyron who's hiding...it's YOU. You, Terri Moulton, are hiding from yourself.

Kyron has to come home. And YOU have to come to grips, not with a set of weights but with reality.

You won't ever be truly strong, in any sense of the word, until you admit what you did and bring Kyron back.

You've lost Kaine, you've lost Kiara and you've about lost yourself.

You're a loser, Terri.

Why don't you step over to the winning side for once and bring Kyron home?

Don't be like Jared Loughner and cut down an innocent child. Put down the barbells, grow some Amazon backbone and bring Kyron back.

Do it and I promise you that the photo of HIS happy, thankful face will be preserved forever.

"Ruthie In The Sky", Update

Hello, Google...

First of all, I want to thank you for fixing the preview problem, it's working fine, now.

Second, I know that I have one of the oldest blogs on your roster. We've been partners since 2004 and we're still working together now, in 2011. I began this blog at the end of the same year that you introduced Gmail. That's amazing, in itself.

Now, I will begin volume two of this blog. The new blog will not appear online until it is ready. But I hope that you will keep this blog available, on the Internet, for years to come.

Sort of like a souvenir.

I know that you are changing things around, upstairs. I read all about it, today.

Goodbye, Dr. Schmidt...

Time has moved on ...just like "Ruthie In The Sky."

______________

To My Readers:

If something very important breaks, I will post updates here. I will also post updates on the Kyron Horman, Skelton Brothers and Lindsey Baum missing person cases in this blog.

Other than that, this blog will begin to slow down in the next couple of months. I am going to begin work on volume two.

I am very excited about it and I hope that you will enjoy it, too.

I am going to be very busy behind the scenes for the next two months. Every single post in this blog will be scanned, edited, updated if needed and photos will be replaced, changed or deleted.

At the same time, I will be working on the layout and design of volume two.

Please be patient while I get all of this done. :)

Sincerely,
Ruth Rader

A Candle Prayer For Kyron

It burns so soft and silently
And gives off a peaceful glow
This candle to you from me
Reflected in the snow...

When you open up your eyes
In the first light of dawn
Isn't it great to realize
That this candle is not gone?

*There is love in that flame
Warm, like the love in my heart
And it will always shine the same
No matter how long we're apart*

So, please enjoy this candle
Sit back and watch it shine
Remember that you're the miracle
In this prayer of mine...

"Please God, bring Kyron home."

Sincerely,
Ruthie.*

Less Is Insane

The following video was made by Jared Lee Loughner, himself:



Loughner/Timeline To Shooting

I posted it before and I'm posting it again: Jared Lee Loughner isn't insane, he's evil.
____________________

[ Update: According to an article in this morning's Washington Post (online), the clerk at the Motel 6 where Loughner checked-in the night before the shootings, had this reaction: The clerk told investigators about being "scared" and that "he (Loughner) gave off an aura that frightened me." ]

Pure evil feels like that...a bad vibe that makes the other person back away.
____________________

If Loughner was insane last Saturday morning, he wouldn't have planned everything out as well as he did.

I believe that the person who wrote the above article is absolutely right. Jared Lee Loughner knew exactly what he was doing and checked off each item as he went along.

And when he was done, he gathered everything together, took a cab to the Safeway grocery store and then opened fire.

Talking heads on early morning TV news shows are claiming that Loughner couldn't help it. They link his bad behavior to a case of mental illness gone wild.

I disagree.

I think that Jared Lee Loughner planned to go out in what he considered a to be a bullet-riddled blaze of glory. But he miscalculated the courage of some of the people there. And he was tackled before he got the chance to ultimately get nailed by the cops or turn his gun on himself.

He wanted to die famous. But he also had an evil agenda. Some sort of satanic demon threw out Loughner's soul and took over his spirit. That demon pushed Jared Lee Loughner, with his cold desire to kill, into the Safeway parking lot.

Now, one week later, it is very obvious to me that Jared Lee Loughner should get the death penalty. Period.

To get less than that, in my opinion, would be insane.

The video below was posted yesterday. While it is true that the speaker isn't all flash-and-dazzle...he is, in my opinion, absolutely right in what he says. This is a point to consider. Seriously.

If you want to send me a comment about this, feel free to do so.

Also, check out Jared Lee Loughner's altar here.

Let Us Live In Peace

I originally posted this on January 10th. I am reposting it because I think this post says everything that I want to say about the shootings in Arizona.





I sent this email to someone this morning:

My intention, once I heard about the upcoming meeting, was to
contact you and tell you about what happened to me here in Bozeman.

I wanted to talk about injustice, discrimination and hating. And then
that shooter let loose in Arizona. And now, once again, we are all
reminded of what those ugly words mean.

It is difficult for me to understand, in this quiet hour of 5am, why
some people choose to be so bad. But I believe that it is time to work
a little harder to spread the message of love. We need to scatter the
seeds of peace a bit farther out in the garden. Because what we
harvest is crucial to our quality of life.

I was the victim of outright injustice and discrimination when I came
to this City. I was railroaded by a so-called writer with a very bad
agenda. I was filleted alive in this City's twisted Court of Public
Opinion. And I actually received a hand-written letter, filled with
hate, in the mail. The letter wasn't signed and did not include a
return address.

When I heard about little Christina-Taylor Green's life and her
subsequent death in Tucson...I became very sad. What a terrible waste
of a beautiful human being. She had so much potential!

It just doesn't seem fair that a madman survives after innocent lives are gone.

It isn't easy to accept the fact, that among the good people in this
City, there are still those who are very hateful.

No one will ever win as long as the situation stays this way.

So, I hope that your group (which sounds very nice) will continue to
do its best to make this part of the world a better place.

After this weekend, we are left with flags at half-staff, candles in
front of a grocery store and the sad task of saying goodbye.

I truly believe that we, as a Society, can and must do much better.

All of the hope that we have in this Country depends on how much each
of us gives from our heart.

Perhaps, as we take care of business today, we should remember what life is all about. And then dedicate this day to those who deserved a better chance...and never got it.

Sincerely,
Ruth Rader

"Let Us Live In Peace"

One More Song...

This was originally posted in an online forum today:

This may not be considered a proper post for this forum. But I'm going to post it, anyway. Something tells me that Sir Paul won't mind.

My Country is in mourning, tonight. We are sad, angry, confused and looking for justification for what happened this past Saturday in Tucson,
Arizona. But there isn't any way to justify what happened.
So now we are just looking for justice.

But first, we will go through the rest of the stages that grief requires.

I remember Sir Paul coming to New York City. How we honored the memory of John Lennon once again. Christmas passed into the New Year and we were feeling good enough to poke fun at Grampa Mac.

And then Saturday morning came and in the space of a few terrible minutes, everything changed. Now, my Country is back in that serious zone, again.

I know that Paul McCartney is familiar with the Tucson area. He probably knows about Saturday's tragedy.

The reason that I'm posting this here is because I remember Good Ol' Grampa Mac flashing the peace sign. I heard him say, "Give peace a chance. Right now!"
Those were his words after he sang the song on "Saturday Night Live."

Well, we need some peace here in the United States. We sure do.

John Lennon was shot on a New York street. Now, once again, a wild-eyed pistol-waver has taken away many innocent lives. One of the victims was a nine-year-young girl.

Grampa Mac once recorded a ditty about "silly love songs."
Well, tonight, I'm here to say that we need all of those love songs that we can get.

So, Sir Paul, all kidding aside, if you have one or two more love songs in you that you want to share with the world...now is the time.

Mr. McCartney, you are not too old to write a love song that will make people stop and think. I believe that my Country is ready to hear that love song...one more time.

Sincerely,
Ruthie.*

Click the button on the video and then click the link to listen to the song on YouTube. It will be worth it. The music, recorded back in 1971, is beautiful.

Something Hinky This Way Comes...

Update:
Judge Larry A. Burns, from southern California, has been appointed to the case against Jared Lee Loughner.

Read THIS first.

What was Jared Loughner doing with that "black bag"?

When the Fish and Game cop stopped Loughner, why didn't he notice Loughner's alleged "unstable" behavior?

AND...where oh where did Jared Lee Loughner get the cash to buy the Glock and all that neatly-packaged ammunition?

Loughner may be crazy...but it's beginning to look like he's crazy like a fox.

Jared Lee Loughner: A young man that stashed things undetected, fooled a cop and managed to pay for the tools that killed six people and wounded many more.

If that's insanity...then our Country needs a whole new type of shrink.

I am dedicating this video to everyone who has been affected by the shootings in Tucson, Arizona. This song says it all...

Fred Phelps: Stay Out Of God's Way

I posted Fred Phelps sick video on my blog this past Sunday.



Westboro Banned From Funeral Area

The Bikers Will Be There Thursday

Read my original post HERE


And this is what was broadcast on CNN this morning:



I'm having difficulty accessing the Westboro Baptist Church website today. There may be several reasons for that.

But their intentions this Thursday are already well-known. And Arizona is gearing-up, from legislators to law enforcement, to deal with it.

Little Christina Taylor Green deserves to be remembered and taken to her resting place...with respect. She died in the midst of violence. Now she should be lovingly laid to rest in an atmosphere of peace.

And SHE WILL be.

The protesters from the so-called Westboro Baptist Church would be wise to abandon their plan to picket Christina's funeral. I strongly advise them to stay home in Topeka, Kansas.
___________________

This is a direct warning:

Fred Phelps, you are totally out of line and asking for more trouble than you can deal with.

Stay away from Arizona.

You have no idea what the wrath of God is all about. But if you go to that little girl's funeral, and disrespect her, you might learn the true meaning of righteous indignation.

Jesus Christ once went into a temple with an attitude and a small whip. And when He did, He made His point VERY CLEAR.

(John 2: 12-16)

He didn't want His Father's house to be filled with greed and corruption.

I understand that YOU stage these protests in hopes that you will be attacked by angry people so that you can turn around and sue them.

You're in this racket to make money.

Yes, Phelps, I know what you're really trying to do. I see your bullshit for what it is.

So do many other people. We're on to you now, evil man.

And your days of mocking God are numbered. You better get down on YOUR OWN knees, Fred Phelps, and consider this verse from the Bible:

John 5:24 (New International Version, ©2010)

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life."

That verse is a platinum promise to Christina Taylor Green.

Stay home, Phelps...you and your crew of screwed-up haters. And ponder your OWN status with God.

On Thursday God will have business with little Christina Taylor Green. When that happens, you better stay out of God's way.

The Face Of A Madman

Jared Lee Loughner

He can go to HELL. That's where he belongs. Just look at his demon eyes. I haven't seen a wild gaze like that since Charles Manson was captured.

Right now, Jared Loughner is being held without bail until his next court appearance on January 24th.

Yeah, he's going to just sit there in that jail and ACT like he's out of his freaking mind.

While the entire Country attempts to come to terms with what's happened.

Hopefully, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords will heal, too.

Every good citizen in the United States is praying for her recovery.

The injured people will deal with their wounds, both physical and psychological.

And the families of the dead will grieve as they bury their loved ones:

U.S. District Judge John M. Roll, 63, 9-year-young Christina Green, Congresswoman Giffords' aide Gabe Zimmerman, 30, Dorothy Morris, 76, Dorwan Stoddard, 76 and Phyllis Schneck, 79.

I am sure that families and friends will lay those victims to rest with great sadness and respect.

While Jared Lee Loughner lounges in jail. Yes, while innocent people deal with this traumatic experience...Loughner will eat, sleep, confer with his legal counsel and remain very much alive.

It disgusts me to realize that.

He deserves the death penalty.

Loughner smiled for his mug shot. He smirked in the courtroom today, behaving as if this entire nightmare is no big deal.

I noticed his black eye. Personally, I would love to shake the hand of the person who slugged him.

From what I understand, the attack at the Safeway grocery store was premeditated. Right now it appears to investigators that Jared Lee Loughner planned the whole thing.

Since he was rational enough to plan the crime, buy the gun and ammunition and carry out the plot...

...Loughner is sane enough to face his own execution.

I hope that is exactly what happens after the required legal business is finished.

We can't bring back the dead. But we can remove Jared Lee Loughner from the luxury of this life.

He played the role and now he must pay the toll.

It won't happen soon...but it will happen. One way or another, American Justice will be served, like revenge: Ice cold.

While the rest of us continue to peacefully share the rest of our existence.

Like Jared Lee Loughner should have done.

Westboro Baptist Church--Domestic Terrorists

The Voice Of Hatred Verbally Applauds The Tucson Shooter:



"The Arizona Legislature is expected to pass legislation Tuesday that will bar protesters at funerals from getting within 300 feet of services, a spokesman for the state House said."

Lawmakers Craft Law To Prohibit Funeral Protests

Tucson Angels Will Stand Against Westboro Devils

Westboro Baptist Church, a congregation, a group of individuals and United States citizens...is responsible for the above video.

Their "Church" contact is listed as follows on Google:

3701 West 12th Street
Topeka, KS 66604-1730
(785) 273-0325

And I am writing this post for everyone who is a victim in yesterday's shooting in Tucson, Arizona.

I am writing this post especially for little, nine-year-young Christina Taylor Green. Because she can longer speak for herself...but I can write for both of us.

And write I will!

The time has come for every SANE human being in the United States to make a stand, too.

Westboro Baptist Church has nothing to do with faith, hope, love, salvation or God. Not in any way, shape or form.

You may have noticed that the speaker in the video (a total asshole in his own right) referred to the shooter, Jared Loughner, as a military veteran. Loughner was never in the United States Military. They rejected him. Loughner was never in Afghanistan or anywhere else in the Middle East.

Furthermore, you may have also noticed that Westboro Baptist Church's so-called "press release" misspelled Loughner's last name.

But that's the least of their own sins.

The fool on the video referred to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords as a "baby killer." He apparently made reference to Congresswoman Giffords and abortion. He declared the bullet that shot through her brain, justified...because she is supposed to be a "baby killer."

The truth is, Christina Taylor Green, an innocent child, was shot in the chest and killed by Loughner, yesterday.


Jared Lee Loughner is the REAL baby killer!
___________________

Yet, the son of a bitch on the video praised Loughner and delighted in every injury...and every death...in Tucson, Arizona yesterday.

The old man didn't give a damn about little Christina Green when he clipped on the mic, spoke into a camera and created that video.

And God didn't have anything to do with the words that Fred Phelps (The evil excuse for a "pastor" who appears in the video) said. Anymore than God had anything to do with what Jared Lee Loughner did.

On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.'
But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.'--Matthew 7:22-23
___________________

I challenge every member of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas to open The Bible and read the twelfth chapter in the Second book of Samuel. You people need to recognize that God's finger is now pointing straight at YOU.

Shame on every one of you who align yourself with that hater, Fred Phelps! I suggest that you change your allegiance to the REAL God. And disconnect yourself from the sick image in that disgraceful video.

Otherwise, I will be the first one in line to condemn you for inciting domestic terrorism. And after you are convicted, you will join Jared Lee Loughner in Federal prison.

And after that, YOU, not the rest of us, will have to answer to God.

This Is Worse Than The Video

Yes, U.S. District Judge John Roll was shot to death today by Jared Lee Loughner. And yes, Loughner also shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who is expected to live. He shot a total of 20 people. Some will recover and six are now dead.

Among the dead is nine-year-young Christina Taylor Green. She is the grand-daughter of former Philadelphia Phillies manager Dallas Green. She was just elected to the student council at her school.

From what I hear, the girl was shot in the chest.

It was just routine for Jared to give in to his insanity. And it was too easy for him to load a 9mm Glock and start shooting.

So convenient...

And while the media focuses on Congresswoman Giffords (which is understandable), I keep thinking about that little nine-year-young girl.

Christina was there to see Congresswoman Giffords in action. Green was in the right place at the wrong time.

An innocent child at a grocery store. A regular Saturday routine all over the United States.

Meanwhile, Congresswoman Giffords was doing what we wish more of our elected officials would do: She was reaching out to her constituents.

Then Jared Lee Loughner, with no hesitation whatsoever, walked up and slaughtered people, one-by-one.

And Loughner killed that young girl.

Jared Loughner is crazy. But he is also totally wrapped-up in himself. Check out his written rant on YouTube:





According to Live News Wire: "Jared Loughner's application for Army enlistement was rejected after he reportedly failed a drug test."

Included in Loughner's souvenirs on the Internet is this:



That last item proves that someone besides Jared Lee Loughner, has some big-time explaining to do.

(Law Enforcement IS now looking for a second "person of interest": An older male, possibly in his fifties).

So what are we left with...beyond the death of a nine-year-young girl?

What did we learn from this terrible situation today?

So many questions and meanwhile...Jared Lee Loughner sits, protected and breathing, in a secure cell tonight. His job done. And he probably isn't even thinking about that one young child's life, among the others, that he so calmly took away.

*"Fireflies" By Owl City, is Kyron's Favorite Song*


Recently, I was asked to post a request for worldwide prayers for missing eight-year-old Kyron Horman.

But I am sure that people all over the world are already praying for Kyron.

After I received the request, I asked myself, "Is one prayer, from a person in one geographic location, more important than another?"

I'm sure that God hears all of our prayers. And I believe that He's even heard Kyron's prayers.

And at this point in time, I DON'T believe it is God's fault that Kyron is still missing.

I believe that Kyron's continued absence is directly related to the stupidity of mortal human beings.

Stupid, selfish, shortsighted, bitter, small minded chunks of humanity that don't want to let a good thing go.

Meanwhile, it's just making things worse for Kyron.

Nooo...don't give me all your "but, but..." bullshit.

That boy has a family that HE NEEDS to go back to. Period.

A lady sent me a comment today and stated: "I hope whomever took (Kyron) reads your blog & grows a pair. Bring him back, I don't give a damn who or what you are. Go the coward's way out & drop him off somewhere safe so he can ask someone for help & then you can run! Leave! Hide!"

Well, there you go, the door's open...

Just drop Kyron off in a safe location. He's not yours. You have to give him back now.

So that next Summer, Oregon's Son, will once again be free, to chase his beloved fireflies.

Final Curtain Call, Sir Paul?

Ladies And Gentlemen...



Time has rocked on. And now this question is being bandied about on Paul McCartney's own website: "Is Paul McCartney Too Old To Perform?"

I suppose that's a matter of opinion. McCartney is now 68 years into life. But is Sir Paul ready for his final curtain call?

Not according to many of his fans.

Ask them and they'll tell you why they continue to embrace Paul McCartney's extended shelf life. And McCartney, himself, says that he is nowhere near ready to put his life on a shelf.

Still...his age prompts questions...and more of them are being asked every year.

Oh well, time will eventually sort it all out.

You can't REWIND yourself, Sir Paul. But you can REMIND yourself that you've devoted many years to sharing your music with the world.

"I didn't think...I never dreamed...That I would be around to see...It all come true..."--Paul McCartney, from the song, "Nineteen-Hundred-And-Eighty-Five"

According to ABC News:[Authorities have also taken Athel Scott, a cab driver, in for questioning after finding his phone number on Wheeler's cell phone.

Scott says he doesn't know how his number got on Wheeler's phone, but he says he does remember seeing him.

"I seen him one day by the Hotel du Pont and one day I seen him at the train station going inside that little store, that's all I know," Scott said.]

Huffington Post Coverage Of Dead Birds/Fish

CNN Coverage Of John Wheeler's Death

When I started reading the stories about the birds and fish that are dying in large numbers...I came across a discussion. And that discussion led to another and then another and still another...all essentially saying the same thing: There is a tie between that recent situation and the death of John Wheeler.

I don't care what is said about a house and a neighbor and smoke bombs...I'll never believe that was the root cause of Mr. Wheeler's death.

And if the police end up saying that Mr. Wheeler died from gun shot wounds or another weapon, I won't believe that, either. He was dead when he was caught on that security camera. He was a dead man walking. Someone had already messed with him and that's why he was acting so erratic.

I wonder if John Wheeler was the victim of "his own machine."
Maybe he was poisoned by something that took a certain amount of time to finally bring him down.

At this point, I am inclined to believe the other people who feel that Mr. Wheeler knew something, related to the recent mass death of birds and fish, and someone didn't want him to say anything about it.

I expect some readers to refute my position...of course THEY will...but this is my belief and I am sticking to it.

There is a missing link here. And like the dead birds and fish...and poor John Wheeler when he was found in that landfill...that link stinks. It is the unmistakable scent of corruption wrapped in a cover up.

You Haven't Changed Anything

-Kyron Horman, running free. The way he should be-

People post about the missing eight-year-old boy, Kyron Horman, every day, on Facebook.

Recently, one Facebook poster declared that, "no one will ever really reach whomever took Kyron."

She explained that "you can't communicate with someone who doesn't think like we do."

I disagree.

In fact, I bet that someone involved with Kyron's disappearance is getting a bit unnerved right about now.

Because there's a fine line between calming ones' conscience and coming clean. And I suppose that someone is struggling with that realization now.

Yeah, a person can shovel all of the snow off of the sidewalk. And sweep the floors from the top of the house to the bottom. He can organize all of the papers in his desk. Or she can create gourmet meals for a week.

Or, a person can hole-up in the house and become immersed in his or her own self-pity. And that person can attempt to find solace in booze and a high-priced lawyer. Yeah, that poor soul can sit on the couch, eat a bullshit sandwich and chase it down with a cup filled with self-pity.

Are any of these people YOU?

Are you reading this?

Many people do read my blog, every day. And now I wonder if one of them IS you.

I don't care what you do. That's your business.

I just want Kyron back.

You've had him long enough. But then, you know that.

Any point that you attempted to prove has long since become moot. I mean, it's one thing to take a kid and hurt his vulnerable family members. It's quite another thing to face me and prove that you did the right thing.

You know you can't do that. Nope. You screwed-up. And that's that.

So now what are you going to do about it?

Do what I told you to do: drop Kyron off at a church. Then vanish.

If you want to play it out that way, go ahead. Anyone that can hide a kid for this long can hide themselves, too.

Release Kyron and then just go away.

Unless, you are part of Kyron's family...
...and...
you've done a terrible thing for every wrong reason that Satan ever conjured up.

Then, you've got a problem.

But your problem doesn't belong to an eight-year-old boy. That problem belongs to YOU.

If you and Kyron are still in Oregon, then I can suggest plenty of places where you can drop him off. And you won't be seen.

And to make it easier, give Kyron a cheap cell phone and tell him to punch 911 as soon as you're gone.

Make sure that the phone will be in range of a tower.

That's all you have to do.

And if you actually did something to Kyron...then it's time to tell yourself the truth.

Yes, you read that right.

It's time for YOU to face yourself.

This has nothing to do with Kyron. It never did.

This whole situation is all about you.

And now, after all that you've done...nothing is any better, is it?

You haven't changed anything...not even yourself.

Bring Kyron home and finally make a change that WILL matter to you and everyone else.

This isn't a "please" proposition, anymore.

This is just flat-out what you have to do.
